Getting chunks tree stuff out of tails

So I bought some tails from a 90 to put in my 92 and I brought them home to clean them up and put them on but while running the water through the bulb holes I realized that not all of the chunks where coming out. I worked on them for a little over an hour with barely any sort of results before I decided to look around to find some ideas of how to get this crap out and here we are…

I found an older thread here on the forums, but I’m not sure if it fit’s the bill as the majority of the chunks are between the outer lens and the inner lenses (or whatever you wanna call it) and it sorta kinda moved around but didn’t come out.

^^ That would be what I came across here. It seems like he’s just talking about dirt and that’s not what’s giving me issues. It’s like some sort of tiny buds or small leaves that I’ve got in there.

Does anyone happen to have some other solutions to this irritating problem?
I might post some pics later on in the day, it’s dark right now so I don’t think they’d come out all that well.

That didn’t work… lets try again… lol

So I let both my tails soak for nearly a week now, today I took them both out and ran water through them from the water hose. I got one practically emptied out, but the other one is still full of chunks and such… here what I’m dealing with.
